Selamta (Greetings in Amharic)
Ital (natural) we Ital an
I and I (we) eat from the earth and
leave the animals to give birth
No deaders (dead flesh) No
When I tell people I don't eat meat,
They look at me strangely
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu (don't) eat
When me tell them say that I'm a vegan
Well me nu eat no meat no fish no
Nothing with no foot no eye
Nothing with no lip no ears
Prefer fruit and vegetables instead
When I tell people that me nu eat
The look at me and scratch their chin
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no
When me tell them say that
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat?

Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat

When me tell them say that
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat no
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat?
Look how me big and me say
Some people can't believe
If you want a healthy body
Cause Rastaman will tell you
about the right nutrition
my Sodium me get Potassium
me get my Iron and my Magnesium
Instead of nyam(eat) the fish
I nyam what the fish nyam
Like the Kelp and Irish Moss
Me get me Proteins and my Minerals,
The Vitamins A the B the C the D the E,
Essential fatty acids like the Omega 3
Don't forget your Water drink
The toxins in your body just
Some of the things you eat stop
When it comes to food I don't play
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat
When me tell them say that
When me tell them say me nu eat
Dou you want to hear wha me eat
A lot of people would stop eat the meat
If they had to kill the animals
Look at the way the animals
The unsanitary conditions
If we were supposed to eat the meat
we would have sharp teeth
You wouldn't need a Knife
You can't eat it raw you have
And put on Vegetable seasoning
Wha me eat them a wonder wha me eat
When me tell them say me nu eat
When me tell them say that
When me tell them say me nu
eat no fish nor no meat no
Dou you want to hear wha me eat?
There's a lot of choice around
I just remember some more
The Nectarines and tangerines and
clementines and guanabana
